A Sleeper's Destination

Chapter Six: Librarian Secrets & Morning Greetings

Quickly, I started making my way way to the basement. I made sure not to flat out run, I didn't need to attract attention to myself. However, I wasn't walking normally either. After all, maybe I could catch Akamatsu and Saihara where ever they are? Or at least see them leaving a room of some sort? With this thought in mind, I sped my pace up a little. It didn't take me long to reach the basement. My first stop being by the library doors, but I decided to head towards the game room instead. So, I left the library behind me. However, just as I was about to turn a corner, I heard the doors to the library open.

Quickly, I hid behind the corner. I watched as Saihara and Akamatsu left the library, the two were talking about something. I couldn't hear them due to the distance. I silently waited, I didn't need the two thinking I followed them. They chatted for about twenty minutes before finally leaving to head upstairs. With a sigh of relief, I stretched. My back popped due to the tenseness in my muscles building up from standing in the same position for so long.

No longer seeing Akamatsu or Saihara, I quickly made my way into the library. The doors shut behind me, loudly. Not paying attention to that, I scanned the library to see if there was anything out of place from when I was last in here. Everything looked the same, but I hadn't stayed that long originally. I was more preoccupied about getting away from Harukawa, since she hasn't shown any signs of ever being a trusty or safe person to be around. Even if I had stayed longer, I doubt I would have noticed anything. The library's a mess with all the piles and random books everywhere. I don't even know where to start looking, I just know that it's something to do with the library. I could start looking through the shelves, or I can start with the various piles of books. This is certainly going to take awhile.

The monitor in the library flickered on, only showing Monodam. The robotic bear didn't say anything, then the monitor flickered off. I guess that was the bear's way of showing it's nighttime. I sighed in aggravation, I hadn't found anything, annoyingly. I'll just have to come back here tomorrow then. Leaving the dusty room, I started to make my way back to the dormitories. On my way back, I hadn't run in to anyone. Probably because everyone's already gone back to bed. That, and the motive caused some tension, so the nighttime announcement gave people an excuse to hide back into their rooms.

I woke up with a jolt, sweating and panting. A nightmare, one that I couldn't remember. I was oddly frustrated by this. It was a feeling a kin to having something on the tip of your tongue, but never being able to say it. With a sigh, I got a new pair of clothes from my closet, and made my way to my personal bathroom. Once I got cleaned up, I left my bathroom and checked my dresser. There was another white envelope. Clearly, this wasn't something that Monokuma had been joking around about. Not that I would expect him to.

I reached out, and opened the envelope, nearly tearing the thing apart in my haste. I reached in, grabbing the white slip of paper. Throwing the white envelope back onto my desk, I opened up the white slip of folded paper. My favorite sweet is Coffee Jelly. Is what the white slip of paper read. It was in the same handwriting as yesterday. This secret was much tamer than the one I got before. My eyebrow raised a little in amusement, why would this be considered a secret?

I glanced over at the people still on the board. Well, the people I hadn't crossed out, which was mostly everyone I put on there yesterday. There was Saihara, Toujou, Harukawa, Shinguuji, Hoshi, Shirogane, Amami, and Achikita. Whoever this person is, they probably prefer more bitter desserts if Coffee Jelly is their favorite. Maybe this person likes to act like they don't like sweets at all, and this is why this is a secret? I hummed, that didn't exactly make any sense. It didn't make since for something like this to be a secret. Maybe if it isn't something you would normally bring up in conversation, it's a secret? But I doubt Monokuma would do something like that.
